The Patrick Geddes Centre

  • The Patrick Geddes Centre

Conservation and redevelopment works to Riddle’s Court, a Category A-listed building built in the 1590’s, to create the Patrick Geddes Centre for Learning, a state of the art multipurpose flexible events venue.

This project comprised the reorganisation of support spaces around the dramatic historic rooms, circulation and fire compartmentation, comprehensive fabric repairs and a new lift lobby and rooftop extension to make each floor fully accessible, all working within the Patrick Geddes ethos of ‘Conservative Surgery’.
